G.O.O.D. Music chief Kanye West recently opened up about the release of the highly anticipated Cruel Summer compilation album.

In a video posted on his Youtube channel earlier thus week, Kanye West explained how the album came together with so many different artists.

“We take it really serious that we make the best product we can, but also we’re light with it too,” Kanye West said. “We just wanna have fun and commune and festivalize—I’m not sure if that’s currently a word but it will be afterwards.”

“This isn’t the beginning of the conversation, this isn’t the end of the conversation. It’s our offering as a collective of a sonic snapshot of what’s happening right now, 2012,” Yeezy added.

The critically acclaimed album features appearances from Big Sean, Common, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor and many more.
